Zoo in Salzburg
Animal moments in Salzburg
Salzburg Zoo, also known as Salzburg Hellbrunn Zoo, is picturesquely situated at the foot of Hellbrunn Mountain and is a popular excursion destination for families, animal lovers and nature enthusiasts. The zoo covers a generous area of 14 hectares and is home to around 1,500 animals from around 150 different species. The natural design of the enclosures and the integration of the zoo into the natural rocky landscape of Hellbrunn Hill make a visit a special experience.
A highlight of the zoo is the themed layout of the animal worlds, which are modeled on the animals' natural habitats. Visitors can travel through the different continents and observe animals from Africa, Asia and South America in species-appropriate enclosures. The big cats such as lions and cheetahs are particularly popular, as is the petting zoo for children, where they can experience native farm animals up close. The zoo in Salzburg attaches great importance to species conservation and education. In addition to the animal presentations, there are regular guided tours, workshops and events that bring both children and adults closer to the world of animals. The zoo participates in international breeding programs and makes an important contribution to the conservation of endangered species.

Other offers at Salzburg Hellbrunn Zoo
Thanks to its location in the immediate vicinity of Hellbrunn Palace, a visit to the zoo can be wonderfully combined with a walk through the Hellbrunn Gardens or a visit to the trick fountains. Salzburg Zoo thus offers an ideal mix of animal watching, nature experience and cultural excursion.
Hellbrunn Palace with its famous trick fountains is undoubtedly one of the most popular excursion destinations in Salzburg. The trick fountains, which were built by Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus in the 17th century, surprise visitors with unexpected water fountains, creative designs and tricky installations. A guided tour of the trick fountains is a refreshing treat for the whole family, especially on hot summer days. The baroque Hellbrunn Palace also impresses with its magnificent rooms and extensive park, which invites visitors to stroll and linger. The spacious children's playground in the palace park offers variety and fun for younger visitors, making Hellbrunn a perfect destination for a family outing that combines culture and leisure in a special way. If you take a longer walk, you can also visit the unique rock theater on the "Hellbrunner Berg", the Stone Theater. The Monatsschlössl in Hellbrunn is only a few minutes away from the Stone Theater and presents Salzburg's folklore treasures on three floors.

Salzburg Hellbrunn Zoo and Hellbrunn Palace Park in winter
Salzburg Zoo is also open in winter, although visitors will search in vain for some animals due to hibernation or hibernation. It is particularly nice to extend your visit to Salzburg Zoo in winter with a stroll through the famous Hellbrunn Christmas Market.
The Hellbrunn Christmas Market in Hellbrunn Palace Park is one of the most atmospheric Christmas markets in Salzburg. Against the magnificent backdrop of the baroque palace, festively decorated stalls offer handmade gifts, handicrafts and culinary specialties. The romantic atmosphere, the Christmas lighting and the extensive supporting program with music and children's activities are particularly enchanting. The large Advent calendar, which adorns the windows of the palace, is a particular highlight. The Hellbrunn Advent Magic invites visitors to enjoy the pre-Christmas period in idyllic surroundings.
